THAYER CEMETERY

CARROLL, NY

Located on Rte 62 Between Kennedy and Frewsburg.Still in use no recent burials found, but some stones in place for living family.This data is mostly from my own attempt to read these old stones, in a coldwind, watery eyes, and very eroded stones and many missing I have tried to track.This is to be used ONLY as a guide, there are NO other records for this wecan find except the data submitted by Kelley Raymond , use them together.Read October 31, 2000Submitted November 2, 2000Dee Davidson
